<p><strong>GTN-G regions</strong></p>
<p>The region outlines have changed slightly between RGI versions, for example to avoid the splitting of glaciers between two regions, to make further analyses more convenient, or because previously not included glaciers were located outside existing region boundaries. For the sake of consistency between global glacier datasets a joint set of regions was recommended by the Global Terrestrial Network for Glaciers (GTN-G) Advisory Board, the Global Land Ice Measurements from Space initiative (GLIMS), the RGI Working Group of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS), and the World Glacier Monitoring Service (WGMS). These glacier regions were implemented first in RGI version 6.0 and are available <a class="reference external" href="https://www.gtn-g.ch/data_catalogue_glacreg">on the GTN-G website</a>. These region boundaries were slightly modified in RGI version 7.0 and changes also integrated in the GTN-G dataset <span id="id1">[<a class="reference internal" href="07_references.html#id12" title="GTN-G.

A new region <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">20</span></code>, (“Antarctic Mainland”) was added to encompass the remaining subregion (“Antarctic Ice Sheet”, previously <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">19-31</span></code> and now <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">20-01</span></code>), but it presently contains no glaciers in the RGI (nor has the corresponding former subregion <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">19-31</span></code> in all previous RGI versions).</p></li>
<li><p>Region names in the region shapefiles (and therefore of the associated RGI product files) were harmonized to reflect the most commonly used version in various documents and publications of the RGI. “Arctic Canada, North” and “Arctic Canada, South” have been renamed “Arctic Canada North” and “Arctic Canada South” (comma removed), respectively. The four regions in Asia (“North”, “Central”, “South West” and “South East”) were renamed to “North Asia”, “Central Asia”, “South Asia West” and “South Asia East”, respectively. With this change, none of the regions and subregions in RGI 7.0 have a comma in their name.</p></li>

<p>In <strong>RGI 5.0</strong>, the boundary between regions 01 (Alaska) and 02 (Western Canada and US) was refined, and in region 10 (North Asia) the former four second-order regions became six regions conforming with those described by Earl and Gardner (2016). In RGI 4.0, region 10-01, North Asia (North), was extended slightly to the west for better visibility of glaciers in the Polar Urals. Region 11-02, formerly the Pyrenees and Apennines, was enlarged and renamed Southern and Eastern Europe. First-order regions 10 (North Asia) and 11 (Central Europe) were enlarged accordingly.</p>
